Affected This guidance applies to all FHA Title II Single Family forward and
Programs Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (reverse) mortgage programs except
for FHA-insured mortgages secured by vacant or abandoned properties.
Background On March 18, 2020, HUD published ML 2020-04, through which the
Secretary of HUD authorized a 60-day moratorium on foreclosures of FHA-
insured mortgages and evictions of persons from properties securing FHA-
insured mortgages, to ensure that individuals and families were not displaced
during this critical period. On May 14, 2020, HUD published ML 2020-13 to
extend the moratorium that expired on May 17, 2020 through June 30, 2020.
On June 17, 2020, HUD published ML 2020-19 to extend the moratorium
through August 31, 2020. On August 8, 2020, the President issued an
Executive Order to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, residential
evictions and foreclosures during the ongoing COVID-19 national emergency,
and for HUD to take action to promote the ability of renters and homeowners
to avoid eviction or foreclosure resulting from financial hardships caused by
COVID-19. In response, HUD issued ML 2020-19 and then 2020-27. Due to
the continued national emergency resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic,
HUD is issuing a further extension for all FHA-insured mortgages except
those secured by vacant or abandoned properties.
Moratorium on FHA-insured Single Family mortgages, excluding vacant or abandoned
Foreclosures properties, are subject to an extension to the moratorium on foreclosure
and Evictions through February 28, 2021. The moratorium applies to the initiation of
and Extension foreclosures and to foreclosures in process.
of Deadlines
Separate from any eviction moratorium that was applicable to lessors under
the CARES Act, evictions of persons from properties securing FHA-insured
Single Family mortgages, excluding actions to evict occupants of legally
vacant or abandoned properties, are also suspended through February 28,
2021.
Deadlines for the first legal action and reasonable diligence timelines are
extended by 120 days from the date of expiration of this moratorium for FHA-
insured Single Family mortgages, except for FHA-insured mortgages secured
by vacant or abandoned properties.
